I've only lost about 3.5lb since January- it's really frustrating- but if you're going to the gym that much, it's probably that you're building up looooads of muscles which are heavier :) Have you checked your measurements instead? I do waist/hips/chest/bicep/thigh. If it is that, you'll see the difference there instead.…

Thank you, interesting read! I haven't noticed any stalls or whooshes, I've had a fairly solid nothingness for months. I think I look a bit smaller in places but weight has barely budged, probably because I'm exercising for the first time since I was a child and building muscle quite quickly. This is the first major change…

Most of the worst comments I have had have been from family, and a few from nasty exes. The one that will ALWAYS stay in my head was from my grandmother when I was about 9 or 10, who told me that she wouldn't come to my wedding if I was "waddling down the aisle". I ended up with very bad eating habits after that and…

I'm a little anaemic but try to do without supplements, some good non-meat ones are spinach, kale, brocolli, dark green cabbage, pumpkin & sunflower seeds, lentils, lots of kinds of beans, cereals... and my personal favourite excuse- Guinness :) (ok so it's not that high but it's there!)

Thanks leez1984 that's great to know!

I don't, can't afford one at the mo unfortunately :(

22! :)

Thank you!! Both hands in lbs it is! And thanks for the tip on searching online, am a complete newbie to this side of things so need to explore a lot I think :)

Hey, feel free to add me, I have fairly few friends on here but am always happy to chat with other people trying to change their lives :) While I cannot imagine what you have been through, I do have some undiagnosed pain issues which make exercise sometimes very difficult to do, so I can empathise a little with the extra…

Thanks everyone, I have the Allen Carr book, I haven't started reading it yet. I hadn't heard of the site though, thanks :) I'm just so scared of mucking up the progress I'm making with the diet and exercise. That's hard enough on its own. Did any of you start doing all 3 at once?

I have a partner but no Valentine. I don't do Valentine's Day, I think it's bull****, just a good way of passing off generic V-day presents (chocolates, bubbly, red roses *vomit*) as romance and making money out of it. Not to be all judgemental of those who like it by any means, and sorry if it sounds that way, I just…

Hello from Ireland! Feel free to add me, I'm just a couple of weeks in, and it really does help to see other people doing the same, and get/give words of encouragement. Good luck with it, and *stay positive*

Nice going! 34 is my goal loss, only just started, daunting task ahead I think! Well done!

Where are you getting all your protein?! It's one thing I'm having a *lot* of trouble with.

I've only been on this site a few days, and I find that pretty odd too, I wouldn't have imagined how hard it would be to make up those calories when you're eating such good food! In general unless I'm WAY under I won't eat. No point eating for the sake of it if it's just a couple of hundred. When I was 800+ under I snacked…

Add away, I've only been here 2 days, completely new venture for me, could also do with the support, recipes, etc :)

I almost had a binge attack today, my favourite food is cheddar cheese, and I so badly wanted some on toast today. Now, I usually hate these people who talk like I'm about to talk, so feel free to ignore me/curse me but this is what I thought: Is this cheese on toast going to be enjoyable enough to make up for…

Hi, my name's Alice, I'm 22, 14 stone (198lbs ish) and I've just started attempting to get healthy for the first time. I'm a smoker and a bit of a comfort eater, so my weight is a priority right now, and would love to have a friend on here doing the same thing. I've just started a healthy eating plan, with the help of…
